KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 19): UMW Toyota Motor is set to deliver the all-new Toyota Harrier from prices starting from RM238,000 in Peninsular Malaysia.

In a statement today, the company said following the preview of the Toyota Harrier at the Malaysia Auto Show 2017 last November, it had received many orders for the model.

It said the first units are now being delivered to customers who made bookings earlier.

UMW Toyota Motor president Ravindran K said Malaysia was among the first countries to sell the Toyota Harrier outside of Japan as the earlier generations were intended only for the Japanese domestic market.

“We are encouraged by the response to the introduction of the all-new Toyota Harrier in Malaysia,” he said.

UMW Toyota said the Harrier comes with a 5-year warranty with unlimited mileage.

The company said this includes availability of genuine replacement parts for this latest generation.

On the features, UMW Toyata said the latest generation of the Harrier has a sharp aerodynamically-angled grille and incorporates a hawk emblem which emphasises the aggressive and elegant image.

LEDs are used for the headlamps, Daytime Running Lights, cornering lamps, foglamps and rear combinations lamps. The front signals show the driver’s intention to turn left or right, or change lanes, by a sequential display of lights.

UMW Toyota said the fully imported Harrier 2.0T comes with a 2-litre turbocharged engine.

It said two versions are available – the Harrier 2.0T Premium and Harrier 2.0T Luxury which has additional equipment. It comes with 4 colour choices.

The Harrier has the 8AR-FTS petrol engine with a twin scroll turbocharger. This engine features D-4ST direct fuel-injection and a VVT-iW (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent Wide) system.

Owners of the new Harrier will be well protected by the Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) Package, a suite of Active Safety systems available in a Toyota model in Malaysia for the first time. Pre-Crash System, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping System, Lane Departure Alert and Adaptive High-Beam System are part of the TSS Package.
